Little League

Our favorite Little League team, the Mets, were playing at La Center yesterday. Our favorite player, #13 rotated during the game from center field to left field, then to second base on the defensive side. Here you see his batting stance, a nicely aggressive pose. He was the first batter in the top of the 6th inning.

Apparently that stance frightened the pitcher into throwing wild pitches. The arrow shows the blurry location of the ball and you can see #13 watching it with disappointment. He walked to first base, then stole second.

Here our intrepid player #13 is watching for a chance to steal third base. You can see by the scoreboard in the background that two of the batters following him were put out, and shortly after this photo was taken the third batter ended the inning with another out.

It was fun watching this level of baseball again after so many years.
